CS008 With this guitar I decided to go back to where this all started. My original intention was to build a copy of my own 1978 Martin HD28 herringbone guitar. Guitar # CS001 was my first attempt at making this copy only from Sycamore . This guitar is identical to my HD28 Martin and also CS001 in every way except for the type of wood used. This guitar is made with Hawaiin Koa wood back/sides, Englemann spruce top, and Indian rosewood fingerboard and bridge. HD28 herringbone purfling and soundhole rosette. The binding is Ivory colored plastic. I built this guitar mainly as an example to myself of of the evolution of my knowledge and craftsmanship as an amateur luthier. I hope you will take the time to go back and compare CS001 to CS008. This guitar is available to purchase.
